DuhNooz... It just gets more ricidulous by the nanosecond.
VATICAN CITY — A top Vatican official issued a detailed defense of Pope Benedict XVI’s handling of sexual abuse cases and extensively criticized The New York Times’s coverage, both in its news and editorial pages, as unfair to the pope and the church.(1)
We’re talking priests, who are child sex abusers. Priests, who prey on the children they’re supposed to be protecting. He’s the boss, for God’s sake. It’s a church, for crying out loud. They call it the church. And they’re blaming the little people in the heirarchy, not the one person who could clean up the whole mess. Obviously the buck doesn’t stop here, it gets passed. It’s the blame somebody else game.
Germans are leaving the church in droves. And since there’s a church tax for people who are attached to a church, they are quick to report their leaving.
We gotta take a break here. Go to something else.
